Silikon for thin lips?

Five Years Post Lifestyle Lift -St. Petersburg, FL

I had that as well and it didn't hurt at all so there must be different levels...I didn't notice any difference after several treatments either.

I had a small amount of silicone in my lips in Dec 09 and my only complaint is there was barely any noticable difference. None really. Now I'm worried about my scheduled apt tomorrow with another doctor who has had a lot of experience and success with the silicon which is suppose to be permanent and also to the commisure corners of the mouth!

SORRY IF IT'S NOT CLEAR that I DID NOT have a lifestyle lift and I was sharing this to show what a real facelift results look like compared to a friend who had a lifestyle lift that only lasted her 5 years and I think it must be because they didn't address the underlying muscles. However, just to show you, nothing lasts forever and I want to do either another facelift/and/or fillers.

I am still not 100% sure I need to redo a full facelift. I've seen some pictures here where people got good results with fillers to the nasial folds so I am going to get silicon 1000 around there and my lips and then see about what to do about the turkey neck which I think the only answer is to have a neck lift but I don't want to have to keep getting fillers every year either. I have more issues with my eyes than show in these pictures: above (fat pad) and below (puffy rolls when I smile and I don't see how a filler would solve that.

Wow is right. Bless you for having the courage to share all those pictures. I have a good friend considering this and I will share this as I'm sure she has no idea what she could be in for. I was with her at the consult and the doctor didn't give her any preparation and it is called the Hetter peel which I think is the same as what you had. I looked at all the pictures and can't wait to come back and read the details of your experience. I wish you would show more after pictures close up like your before picture; however, it looks like it turned out amazing and you must be thrilled. Really awesome. You probably mentioned in your document but I am very curious if you went through this alone or did you have someone to help you. Thank you again for sharing this. Do you agree that this should be done by a dermatologist and not just someone who is board certified plastic surgeon? I am also curious how you decided to choose this over the CO2 Fractional that I see some love and other's have questionable results. I love that you consulted with 9 doctors as I think that who does this work is the key.
